Provocative John F. Kennedy “Wanted for Treason” Handbill Circulated in Dallas — Investigated by the Warren Commission for Links to the Assassination
Incendiary and scarce handbill, circulated in Dallas at the time of John F. Kennedy…s November 1963 visit. Handbill proclaims, …WANTED FOR TREASON… below two front and profile photographs of Kennedy, and makes seven charges against him, including …Betraying the Constitution… and being lax in …enforcing Communist Registration laws.… The Warren Commission investigated the source of these documents, and determined that a man named Robert Surrey printed approximately 5,000 of them, but that Surrey had no connection to Lee Harvey Oswald. Despite this, questions regarding the connection of Dallas extremists associated with the handbills to Oswald have persisted to this day. Very few of the handbills now exist, as the vast majority were destroyed before Kennedy was killed. Lot is accompanied by letter of provenance from the Writer and Editor at …Life… magazine in 1963, Robert Wallace, who was in Dallas at the time of the assassination and collected a few of the handbills. He gave one to famed collector John Lattimer, to whom the letter is written. Wallace notes that the handbills …serve to give some indication of the attitude that prevailed, at least among fanatics, in Dallas at the time of the murder.… Orange-brown handbill measures 9″ x 12″. Overall creasing and very small tear to right margin. Very good condition. Sold for $4,142.
